Rainbow Rider by Alex Noriega

I’ve just released a new collection of photographs I made in Utah and Arizona throughout November. You can check them out here: alexnoriega.com/november-2017 If you follow me, you know that I release new images relatively slowly, and usually one image at a time. I even tend to go on hiatus for a couple months at a time as I continually re-evaluate my artistic priorities (or maybe that’s my excuse for laziness). Well, nothing makes me want to get out and photograph again each year like autumn in the Southwest! I was told I need at least 20 images for a “gallery release”, but I’m just too critical of my own work to produce that many in a month. I ended up whittling my initial selection of 30 images down to these final 15. Hopefully seeing these together gives you an idea of what I’m striving to create! This image of a cottonwood and desert brush is easily my favorite of the new collection, and it’s from one of my favorite areas of Utah. I’m looking forward to printing it big!
